'Tame' problem

Postby stevesayskanpai » August 1st, 2010 7:23 pm

Seems I posted this in the wrong place to begin with. I was wondering, which is correct?
As you can see I'm having a bit of trouble with "tame"

勝利のためにお叫び
勝利ためにお叫び
勝利のためお叫び

Thanks for your help!

ため is a noun, so you're going to need to use の to connect it with other nouns, so it should be 勝利のためのお叫び. If modifying a verb, に is optional if there's a phrase sandwiched between ため and the verb it is modifying.

勝利のために叫ぶ。
勝利のため(に)みんなが叫んだ。
